He will be put under bili lights for a slight jaundice. It’s nothing concerning, pretty standard.
He will start feeding today with a constant drip. He will get about 1/2 ml per hour. They will up it day to day and it will take about a week and a half to get him up to the amount that they want him eating.
They have to take the IV out of his umbilical cord and put it in his arm so it doesn’t get infected.
I was able to give him his first bath and got to take him out of the isolet by myself and hold him for a long time (twice).
It is so fun to have so many firsts with our little man.

Charish them all. In you emotional state, you may not rember them accurately they to record as much as possible. And in 10years when tiu gwt a chance ti settle down and rember it all, your vidios will rekindle you feeling of hurt, sadness feeling alone, but most of all. They will fuel an overwhlming sence of love.
